two days to write a phd program for the interview on Tuesday. Gotta fill up that coffee mug I guess

@freemo @zpartacoos Hi, yeah no I'm not in molecular biology, I'm sure we have a few biologists floating around here but can't remember exactly who...

@trinsec holy shit you are right! I'll have to test it: I'm going to write down how I'd finish the design and see if he gets the details. If he does man, that could be something!

@trinsec ahaha, still, I was so proud of my design, he even got the lights from below that I thought of!

I had some very good ideas on how to improve my #garden, and make it livable and pretty and all... and my neighbours have done exactly those things a few days later, so now it would look like I'm copying them.

Damn! Will have to come out with a new design!

@moshtodon I read an article not long ago about feral cats getting milk from elephant seals, I don't think in general we are the only species to do it (even thouhg it is quite rare). To be fair, we do a lot things that other animals don't usually do, we are kind of a special animal 😊

@lucifargundam Rarely, but I enjoy them, feels better to type for long time

@lucifargundam yeah, it's very unfortunate... I tried many keyboards, I really wanted to have something nice with leds and work a bit on it, but couldn't find anything that suited me, I'm too used to this style of typing

@lucifargundam I like very low run keys, I tried two mechanical keyboards but they were too high for me

Like, that's my keyboard!

@omicron before the first login? WTF, did you do something to solve it? That thing is really weird.

I also am not using a VPN or bots and I get banned constantly

@lucifargundam this looks awesome man! I don't really like mechanical keyboard (I like very very short action) but that's beautiful!

@lucifargundam awesome, do you have a picture of it?

@lucifargundam , what's up with your keyboard?

I've recently created an #instagram account, to try it out and see what is it about.
I'm FLABBERGASTED and slightly offended, I was banned 3 times in 2 weeks because Instagram thinks I'm not a person.

Feels like a ship that could crush any minute, so very unsafe, as if having your social life on a server controlled by others isn't a good enough reason for feeling restless to start with. How do people live with that stress?

Still, I like the structure and likely will give #pixelfed a try.

@dynamic Yeah, I'm a millenial and I've also been often called a boomer. In time a sense of being old grew on me and I hate it

No it wouldn't make a sensible difference to be called "pop" or "grandpa", I'd still find it offensive, it's just that I never see those in my language while I often hear boomer.

I agree that is often not properly used, but that's how it goes with insults

@dynamic Yeah I don't love them and I don't hate them, depends on people, I just find it very offensive to use the age as an insult. Not sure how is it different from using the skin color or the gender, but I rarely see people talking against this kind of speech

@freemo well, I don't get offended neither, also because I'm not a boomer, but if I was called "old!" just because I fail to do something or because of a way I speak or act, that would make me feel quite bad

@Wetrix reddit is pretty leftist is my perception, I tried to post couple of times on r/conservative and I was automoderated 'cause I needed to be trusted and whitelisted and whatnot. I guess they were heavily trolled!

I can't wait to see some fediverse alternative really pick up momentum and merge a bit those worlds! seems like Lemmy is doing fine

4chan is something else altogether. I follow couple of channels but man, what a f**king mess! Ahahah

Raise a glass for digital homes wherever and whatever they are!

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I find it disturbing when "boomer" is used as in insult or as a mockery. Is it so in your language too?

I don't think I've ever seen someone go against this kind of discriminatory language though so maybe it's just that I hang out with the wrong people =D

@Wetrix Idk, for sure reddit is pseudonimous so I have no clue who I'm talking with (and I think one of the best unwritten rules of reddit is don't follow your friends account). But in general, the feeling I have from some communities is very strong there, and when I write I feel very at home.
Here I feel safer though, that's true, reddit can be cold when you go against the dominant ideas.

In any case, it's so nice to have some digital homes ❤️
